The driveway is long. The floor plan is unexpected. Good. Because 10+ wooded acres don't feel particularly private when the house is sitting at the road, and a truly custom home shouldn't necessarily live like every other house you've toured. At 6620 Buckthorn Drive NW, the long, winding approach is part of the experience. With each turn, the outside world falls a little farther away until you arrive at a striking 5,626-square-foot home surrounded by woods, privacy and nature, yet still remarkably convenient to Rochester. And that unconventional floor plan? That's where Buckthorn gets interesting. Rather than forcing every space into a traditional layout, this home offers distinct areas for entertaining, working, relaxing, exercising and hosting. The expansive upper-level flex space over the garage feels almost like a destination of its own, with possibilities ranging from a fitness or wellness studio to a media lounge, creative space, retreat or generous guest accommodations.
